Java Power

Tapestry pages and components are simple Java POJOs, with easy access to all Java language features and the vast Java ecosystem. Thanks to Java's advanced concurrency API, Tapestry handles requests fast without sacrificing security or stability.

Scripting Ease

Tapestry features live class reloading: change your Java code, refresh the browser and see the changes... instantly! Have your cake and eat it too: the speed and depth of Java, the agile development style of Ruby or Python.

Highly Productive

Simple POJO classes, streamlined templates, live class reloading, state-of-the-art exception reporting, first-class Ajax support, and a big library of built-in components: Tapestry is designed from the ground up to give you great productivity.

Convention Over Configuration

Highly Productive

Live class reloading means that the time between seeing an error and providing the fix is seconds, not minutes.

Scalable

Scales up big on a single server, and works great in a cluster. Keeps session state minimal by design.

Advanced Exception Reporting

Gives you all the tools you need to fix your problem: not just a stack trace, but every bit of information you need to know about what Tapestry was doing, why it was doing it, what went wrong, and how to fix it.

Testable

Fast

Pure Java; no reflection, not even for property expressions. Built to cleanly support large numbers of concurrent threads without contention. Integrated GZip content compression, JavaScript aggregation and compression, and client-side caching.

Adaptable And Modular

Architecture is open and extensible. There's a clean way to add your own extensions, or override built-in logic. Provides integration with Hibernate, JPA, and Spring. Third-party integrations with other tools, such as Quartz and Lucene.
